Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle concerns ranging from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
