Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues stretching from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
