Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems ranging from standard disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically experience.
