Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained substantial healthcare instruction with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage difficulties ranging from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
