Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing health care education with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with problems stretching from regular disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
