Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat difficulties ranging from typical conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
