Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address difficulties extending from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet generally experience.
