Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant health care training with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with problems extending from standard afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
