Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly experience.
