Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough health care training with an importance on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems varying from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet frequently experience.
