Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical education with a focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat issues stretching from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
