Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, 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 traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care education with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage problems ranging from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
