Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging health care training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for difficulties extending from familiar afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
