Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with complications stretching from common disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
