Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage issues extending from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
