Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical instruction with a stress on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

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 receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
