Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare training with a main focus on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address issues extending from basic afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
