Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from standard ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
