Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing medical instruction with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage concerns extending from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to carry out 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 legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
