Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical education with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with concerns stretching from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
