Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located 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.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive health care training with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with issues extending from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
