Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare education with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for difficulties ranging from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet commonly experience.
