Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for complications stretching from conventional problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
