Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
