Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 Podiatrists have received significant medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address conditions ranging from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
