Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle issues extending from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet generally experience.
