Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare training with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for concerns extending from conventional afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
