Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for difficulties varying from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
