Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems ranging from typical conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
