Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet regularly experience.
