Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical education with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for difficulties ranging from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet usually experience.
