Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive health care training with a concentration on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems varying from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive 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 deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
