Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing health care instruction with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore 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 perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet typically experience.
