Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with concerns stretching from general disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet typically experience.
