Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant medical education with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with issues stretching from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally experience.
