Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
