Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage issues varying from basic problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
