Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
