Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing medical education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle difficulties ranging from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the skill required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
