Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle concerns varying from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally experience.
