Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns varying from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet frequently encounter.
