Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with concerns extending from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
