Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with concerns varying from commonplace disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
