Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical instruction with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat concerns ranging from standard afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
