Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive health care training with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
