Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat difficulties ranging from typical conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
