Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address problems ranging from familiar conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
