Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and many podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable healthcare training with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat issues ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
