Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
