Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and various podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat conditions extending from usual disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
