Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems stretching from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
