Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare instruction with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat difficulties ranging from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet usually experience.
