Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial healthcare instruction with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns extending from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
