Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage issues stretching from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet regularly experience.
