Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with complications ranging from usual conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
