Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish 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 medical instruction with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties extending from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
