Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care education with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address difficulties extending from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet typically encounter.
