Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with an importance on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for difficulties varying from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
