Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant medical education with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns stretching from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically experience.
