Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
