Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from regular afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
