Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable medical education with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from typical afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet generally encounter.
