Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat difficulties ranging from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet normally encounter.
