Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns ranging from commonplace problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet usually experience.
