Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare training with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from simple afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
