Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical training with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle concerns stretching from regular conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
