Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with an attention to on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle concerns ranging from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
