Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an attention to on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address conditions extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
