Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems ranging from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
