Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with complications ranging from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
