Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat complications stretching from regular conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
