Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat issues stretching from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
