Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage problems varying from basic disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
