Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns stretching from usual afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet generally encounter.
