Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical education with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to address conditions extending from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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 deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
