Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions ranging from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
