Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage problems stretching from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
