Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial healthcare education with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions ranging from commonplace afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally 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 feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet commonly experience.
