Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage issues extending from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet generally experience.
