Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial health care education with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage concerns ranging from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet typically encounter.
