Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage conditions ranging from usual disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
