Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing healthcare instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address problems extending from familiar problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet usually experience.
