Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat conditions ranging from familiar conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet usually experience.
