Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from usual conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
