Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with a stress on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions varying from regular afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely experience.
