Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat issues ranging from regular problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
