Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable medical education with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems extending from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
