Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
