Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
