Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with problems varying from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
