Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired substantial health care instruction with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from conventional afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
