Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle issues stretching from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet generally encounter.
