Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant health care training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with conditions extending from common disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet frequently experience.
