Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems extending from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet generally encounter.
