Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough health care education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties ranging from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
