Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to handle concerns stretching from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
