Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from typical ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet generally experience.
