Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical education with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for issues ranging from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
