Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address complications extending from familiar disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
