Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive health care training with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for difficulties varying from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
