Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough healthcare instruction with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for problems ranging from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
