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 spend around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable health care training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with complications ranging from normal conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically experience.
