Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address concerns extending from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
