Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
