Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience vital to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
