Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for problems varying from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
