Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to address concerns varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
