Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address problems ranging from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
