Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained substantial medical instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for concerns ranging from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
