Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for concerns extending from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
