Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from typical disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
