Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address issues ranging from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the expertise vital to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet regularly experience.
