Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for problems varying from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet generally encounter.
