Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle issues extending from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
