Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical education with an importance on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle concerns varying from regular conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the skill vital to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
