Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with issues varying from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
