Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications varying from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
