Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive health care training with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat issues extending from simple problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
