Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address difficulties ranging from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
