Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems ranging from standard disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also 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 perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
