Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from simple ailments such as 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 extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
