Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for complications extending from simple conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
