Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for issues varying from normal conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet frequently experience.
