Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical education with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage complications varying from standard problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
