Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough health care instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address concerns varying from simple problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
