Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable health care training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for concerns ranging from common afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise required to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually encounter.
