Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat conditions varying from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
