Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care education with an importance on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues extending from basic ailments like fungal and ingrown 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 comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet regularly experience.
