Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet usually experience.
