Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for conditions ranging from normal disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
