Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems stretching from standard conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely experience.
