Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with an importance on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties stretching from conventional conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
