Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to deal with conditions stretching from normal problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
