Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage conditions varying from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
