Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with conditions ranging from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
