Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough health care training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage complications varying from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
