Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough healthcare training with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to handle problems ranging from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
