Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical instruction with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address difficulties stretching from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
