Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical education with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with complications stretching from normal disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
