Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant healthcare education with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns ranging from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet typically encounter.
