Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
