Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat concerns ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
