Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough healthcare training with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for difficulties ranging from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
