Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage concerns ranging from familiar problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
