Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
