Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired thorough medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems varying from typical afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet usually experience.
