Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for issues ranging from common ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet routinely experience.
