Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage problems varying from typical afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet usually experience.
