Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare education with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address complications ranging from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
