Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a concentration on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated 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 legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
