Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle issues varying from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally experience.
