Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for conditions stretching from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet normally encounter.
