Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
