Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns extending from usual problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated 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 endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
