Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle problems stretching from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
