Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical instruction with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with difficulties ranging from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
