Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems varying from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
