Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for complications varying from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
