Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet usually encounter.
