Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from simple afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet generally encounter.
