Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and various podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for concerns stretching from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
