Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage issues ranging from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
