Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical training with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications ranging from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet generally encounter.
