Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists 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 higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care education with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from commonplace problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
