Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage conditions ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
