Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive health care training with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
