Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for complications ranging from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
