Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns ranging from typical disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise vital to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
