Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle difficulties varying from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
