Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to deal with complications stretching from conventional disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet frequently experience.
