Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties varying from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
