Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
