Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with problems ranging from commonplace afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet typically experience.
