Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial health care instruction with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems stretching from commonplace ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
