Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving 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 post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from standard disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
