Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing health care instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems stretching from conventional conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet frequently experience.
