Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained encompassing health care education with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems extending from simple disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
