Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical training with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat conditions ranging from normal disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
