Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for issues ranging from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
