Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical education with a concentration on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems extending from simple ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet routinely experience.
