Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a stress on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
