Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle problems stretching from conventional conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
