Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns extending from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet normally experience.
