Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat issues ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill required to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
