Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired thorough healthcare education with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
