Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address issues stretching from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically experience.
