Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare training with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties ranging from usual afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly experience.
