Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems ranging from familiar conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet typically experience.
