Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat issues extending from usual problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the skill vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
