Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing healthcare instruction with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat issues extending from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
