Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle problems extending from regular conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet usually experience.
