Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical education with a stress on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to address complications varying from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet frequently experience.
