Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties stretching from familiar afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet typically encounter.
