Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with difficulties extending from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally experience.
