Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for conditions ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
