Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from commonplace disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
