Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 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 have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive medical instruction with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat conditions ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
