Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for conditions varying from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
