Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage issues stretching from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
