Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained thorough medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle concerns varying from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
