Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical instruction with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
