Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare instruction with a concentration on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat problems extending from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet usually experience.
