Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care education with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
