Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care training with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with problems varying from basic conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet normally experience.
