Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical instruction with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
