Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to handle issues ranging from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
