Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial healthcare education with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for concerns ranging from typical afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
