Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with an attention to on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for issues ranging from conventional conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience needed to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
