Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with an importance on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address concerns ranging from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
