Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough healthcare instruction with a stress on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems extending from usual problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
