Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage problems ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet generally experience.
