Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage problems ranging from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet normally experience.
