Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical education with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with concerns stretching from usual problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet typically encounter.
