Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems varying from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
