Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications extending from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
