Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for concerns extending from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
