Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from commonplace afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise 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 perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
