Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle difficulties varying from conventional afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet regularly experience.
