Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for conditions ranging from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet typically experience.
