Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage complications stretching from simple afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
