Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat conditions ranging from general afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet normally experience.
