Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare education with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to handle concerns ranging from standard conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
