Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle difficulties ranging from regular afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
