Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with concerns ranging from simple disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
