Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from familiar conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
