Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough health care training with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems extending from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
