Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough health care training with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with complications stretching from commonplace problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
