Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage issues ranging from general ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely experience.
