Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with a main focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for concerns ranging from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

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 perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet routinely experience.
