Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns varying from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet regularly experience.
