Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from general ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet normally experience.
