Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care education with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat difficulties varying from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually experience.
