Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for difficulties extending from typical disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore 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 perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet typically encounter.
