Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage problems extending from normal problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet usually encounter.
