Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat issues stretching from common disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

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 carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
