Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical instruction with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
