Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address conditions stretching from standard afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet generally experience.
