Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
