Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage concerns extending from regular ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
