Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns stretching from general problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
