Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat issues extending from normal problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet usually encounter.
