Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical education with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
