Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing health care instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for conditions extending from common afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet regularly experience.
