Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained thorough health care training with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for conditions varying from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
