Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical instruction with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
