Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from simple conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
