Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical instruction with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties extending from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the skill required to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
