Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving 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 Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care instruction with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to treat complications varying from standard afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the skill essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
