Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage problems varying from regular disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually experience.
