Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to manage complications varying from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet typically encounter.
