Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from general problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
