Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat problems varying from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles 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 submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
