Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare training with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle difficulties ranging from basic ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
