Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to deal with conditions stretching from normal conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill vital to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet commonly encounter.
