Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for problems ranging from regular afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive 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 irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet generally experience.
