Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive health care training with a main focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the skill vital to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive practical 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
