Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
