Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
