Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to address concerns stretching from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
