Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat problems varying from normal disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
