Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems stretching from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
