Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with issues ranging from standard disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
