Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for concerns varying from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill essential to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
