Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
