Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
