Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from simple conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the skill needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
