Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues varying from usual conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience essential to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet normally experience.
