Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage complications extending from common afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
