Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems ranging from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the skill required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
