Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical education with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat problems stretching from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
