Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with conditions extending from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
