Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical education with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties extending from familiar conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
