Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained significant healthcare instruction with a concentration on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat conditions ranging from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
