Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties ranging from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
