Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
