Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for concerns ranging from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet typically experience.
