Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to address concerns extending from common conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet frequently experience.
