Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat conditions varying from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
