Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for difficulties varying from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
