Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive healthcare education with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for issues ranging from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
