Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from general ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet normally experience.
