Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.
Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical instruction with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for concerns ranging from regular disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet routinely experience.
