Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage issues varying from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
