Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to care for concerns varying from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the expertise essential to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical 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 deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
