Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with complications ranging from conventional ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
