Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat concerns extending from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet commonly experience.
