Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with a focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage difficulties extending from general ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
