Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with an importance on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems stretching from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed 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 feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet normally experience.
