Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties varying from conventional afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly experience.
