Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle problems varying from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet generally experience.
