Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat difficulties ranging from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently experience.
