Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain 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 in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from usual ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet generally experience.
