Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in 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 corresponds to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage concerns ranging from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
