Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat concerns varying from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
