Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for difficulties varying from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely experience.
