Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with problems varying from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
