Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare education with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties varying from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet usually experience.
