Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial medical training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with difficulties stretching from commonplace disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
