Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle problems ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
