Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with issues ranging from regular ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
