Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care training with an attention to on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from normal problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
