Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial health care training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address complications ranging from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience required to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet usually experience.
