Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with problems stretching from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
