Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues varying from familiar conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
