Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns extending from standard afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

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 experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
