Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle issues extending from regular conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
