Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle concerns extending from usual problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet usually experience.
