Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing healthcare instruction with a focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from commonplace conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
