Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties ranging from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
