Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and many podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for difficulties stretching from typical afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet routinely experience.
