Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to address issues extending from normal problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
