Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications extending from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
