Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging health care education with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for difficulties extending from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
