Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical training with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for complications stretching from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
