Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle issues ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
