Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage difficulties varying from conventional disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
