Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical education with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns ranging from commonplace problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
