Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical education with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage problems ranging from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
