Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial medical training with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications ranging from familiar disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet normally experience.
