Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat difficulties varying from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
