Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care training with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage conditions extending from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
