Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical education with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to handle conditions ranging from familiar afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet normally encounter.
