Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care instruction with an attention to on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle concerns varying from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
