Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat problems extending from commonplace ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
