Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle difficulties varying from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
