Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle difficulties ranging from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
