Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to address complications stretching from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet regularly experience.
