Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care education with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle issues stretching from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
