Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with problems ranging from basic conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
