Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial medical training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems extending from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
