Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a stress on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to care for issues extending from normal ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally experience.
