Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage problems varying from normal disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically experience.
