Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat concerns ranging from commonplace problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
