Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical education with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat difficulties varying from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
