Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on concerns involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat complications extending from regular afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
