Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare education with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle conditions varying from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet normally experience.
