Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for concerns varying from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
