Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems extending from regular conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
