Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address concerns ranging from familiar afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet usually encounter.
