Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues extending from normal conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
