Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare training with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems ranging from regular disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
