Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical training with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address conditions ranging from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet routinely experience.
