Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a stress on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for complications ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet commonly experience.
