Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with concerns stretching from normal ailments for instance, 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 comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

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 submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet regularly experience.
