Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with an attention to on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems ranging from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated 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 feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
