Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with problems varying from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet generally encounter.
