Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet regularly experience.
