Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get 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 fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare education with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns extending from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally encounter.
