Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough medical training with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat conditions stretching from conventional disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
