Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address complications ranging from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
