Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage issues ranging from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
