Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant healthcare education with an importance on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to manage complications stretching from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
