Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage concerns ranging from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet normally experience.
