Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable health care education with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with issues varying from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
