Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties extending from typical problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill required to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
