Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for conditions varying from familiar afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
