Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough health care education with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle complications ranging from normal disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
