Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat concerns varying from simple problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the skill vital to execute surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
