Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical training with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat issues extending from regular conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet normally experience.
