Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage difficulties extending from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
