Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet frequently experience.
