Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable health care instruction with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with issues stretching from commonplace conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet regularly experience.
