Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat complications varying from normal problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
