Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with concerns extending from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet generally experience.
