Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems stretching from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally experience.
