Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough health care training with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet normally experience.
