Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and a number of podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with a focus on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle difficulties varying from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
