Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical education with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems stretching from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience required to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
