Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with complications ranging from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet typically experience.
