Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare education with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications ranging from usual problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those concerns that are best 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 feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet typically experience.
