Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address concerns ranging from general problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
