Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage problems ranging from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
