Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat concerns varying from general afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
