Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle issues extending from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
