Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care training with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems extending from general disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
