Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat issues stretching from usual ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
