Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with a concentration on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for issues stretching from usual ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and help prevent numerous troubles which the feet regularly experience.
