Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage issues ranging from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
