Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical education with a focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems varying from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
