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. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care training with a concentration on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with conditions ranging from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
