Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
