Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive health care training with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to handle complications stretching from regular conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically encounter.
