Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial health care training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat issues ranging from general conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet commonly experience.
