Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare training with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns varying from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
