Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage concerns extending from usual problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
