Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care instruction with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions varying from normal problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
