Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for difficulties extending from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally experience.
