Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive healthcare education with an attention to on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications varying from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet normally encounter.
