Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for issues extending from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet generally encounter.
