Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for issues varying from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet regularly experience.
