Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with concerns extending from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
