Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues varying from common disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
