Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat concerns varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet normally experience.
