Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat concerns stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
