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. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the skill required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually experience.
