Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues varying from typical disorders like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
