Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
