Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications varying from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
