Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care instruction with a stress on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
