Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing health care training with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems stretching from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally experience.
