Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems extending from regular disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
