Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address difficulties extending from typical problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the skill needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
