Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with a concentration on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for issues extending from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
