Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually experience.
