Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough health care training with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
