Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon 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 conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial healthcare training with a focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to address complications stretching from basic conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
