Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care training with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions stretching from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors 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. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
