Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage problems varying from familiar ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
