Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare training with a concentration on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues stretching from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

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 irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet normally experience.
