Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical education with a focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for conditions ranging from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet typically encounter.
