Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for complications ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
