Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems extending from commonplace problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the skill essential to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
