Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues varying from simple conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet generally encounter.
