Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with difficulties extending from familiar afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet generally encounter.
