Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address concerns stretching from basic problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
