Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare instruction with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties ranging from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet generally encounter.
