Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with an attention to on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems extending from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
