Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical instruction with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues ranging from simple disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
