Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an importance on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage issues ranging from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
