Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive health care training with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties varying from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet commonly experience.
