Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage concerns ranging from general afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
