Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are instructed to care for difficulties varying from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
