Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties extending from commonplace conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet usually experience.
