Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial health care education with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address difficulties ranging from simple afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet typically experience.
