Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address complications stretching from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

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 withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
