Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat conditions varying from usual afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet typically experience.
