Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with issues extending from regular afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually experience.
