Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties stretching from typical disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
