Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat concerns extending from familiar afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
