Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired substantial health care training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems ranging from conventional afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill vital to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
