Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant medical training with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with problems extending from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
