Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care education with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address complications extending from simple afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
