Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable medical training with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from common afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
