Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions stretching from familiar problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
