Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable healthcare education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns stretching from usual ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet commonly experience.
