Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care instruction with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to manage issues extending from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
