Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
