Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical education with a stress on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage concerns extending from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
