Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing health care instruction with an importance on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle issues extending from typical conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
