Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications stretching from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet usually experience.
