Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care training with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle difficulties extending from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
