Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical education with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties extending from normal disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet generally experience.
