Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care education with a stress on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for issues stretching from regular disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against numerous troubles which the feet normally encounter.
