Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with a focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address issues extending from typical disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
