Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet normally experience.
