Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage problems ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
