Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained considerable medical education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to address problems varying from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
