Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant healthcare training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions stretching from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
