Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical education with an importance on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with issues stretching from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
