Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care training with an attention to on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions stretching from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
