Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from simple ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
