Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle difficulties stretching from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet regularly experience.
