Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with conditions extending from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the expertise required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
