Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical education with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
