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. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical instruction with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle concerns extending from regular afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
