Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical instruction with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet frequently experience.
