Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications ranging from usual afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
