Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired significant medical training with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with conditions ranging from simple disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet typically experience.
