Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon acquiring 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 Podiatrists have received thorough health care education with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for difficulties ranging from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
