Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat concerns extending from common conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise crucial to execute surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet typically experience.
