Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained significant medical instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle conditions extending from commonplace disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied 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 receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
