Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging medical education with a stress on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage difficulties extending from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
