Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to deal with conditions ranging from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet routinely experience.
