Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 Doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with an attention to on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from basic conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally experience.
