Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical education with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address concerns ranging from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
