Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive healthcare education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address complications ranging from common conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
