Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical instruction with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions extending from typical problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
