Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from regular disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
