Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical training with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with problems ranging from normal ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet normally encounter.
