Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address difficulties ranging from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
