Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems varying from simple ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
