Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems varying from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
