Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
