Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from standard disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
