Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from commonplace conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet normally experience.
