Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive health care education with a stress on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for difficulties extending from regular conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet generally experience.
