Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in learning, 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 is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained thorough health care education with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications varying from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
