Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle complications ranging from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly experience.
