Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare training with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues varying from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
