Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical education with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle conditions stretching from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet frequently experience.
