Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
