Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from basic disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet usually encounter.
