Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat difficulties stretching from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually experience.
