Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address problems ranging from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns 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 legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet regularly experience.
