Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage complications extending from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet regularly experience.
