Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat problems stretching from usual conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors 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 deviations enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet usually experience.
