Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical education with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat complications ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
