Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with an importance on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage conditions ranging from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet normally experience.
