Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address problems varying from conventional ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet usually experience.
