Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining 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 post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems extending from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
