Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet usually experience.
