Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage issues extending from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
