Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical instruction with a stress on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications stretching from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
