Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from basic disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
