Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
