Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat complications stretching from usual disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
