Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle complications ranging from regular afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
