Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in about a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an attention to on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties ranging from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
