Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care education with an attention to on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage complications ranging from normal afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
