Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve 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 quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care training with an attention to on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
