Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
