Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly experience.
