Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical instruction with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems extending from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
