Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical instruction with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for concerns stretching from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet normally experience.
