Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable health care instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for problems varying from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
