Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant medical education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat concerns stretching from conventional ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous complications which the feet commonly encounter.
