Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from regular conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
