Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to manage problems stretching from commonplace problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
