Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors 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 physicians have received significant health care instruction with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions ranging from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
