Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
