Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties extending from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet typically encounter.
