Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from common problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
